Louisiana Tech soccer will play its first ever Conference USA matches at the Lady Techster Soccer Complex this weekend as they play host to Marshall at 7 p.m. tonight and FIU at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday.

A Tech (5-6-1, 0-2-0 C-USA) roster with only one senior and two juniors has been forced to grow up quickly on the soccer field, having recently been shut out on the road by Tulsa and North Texas, both of whom were ranked in the top 10 of the NSCAA/Continental Tire central region rankings.

Remember how it was when you were a youngster and your dad/mom/other adult wanted you to sit still and be patient no matter if you were in church or at a family picnic or waiting on Christmas to finally get here?

Patience is not the nature kids are born with. We want what we want when we want it and if we don’t get it right then, boredom and that ants-in-your-pants feeling starts to take over and you’re ready for something else.

MURRAY, Ky. — Louisiana Tech and Murray State went overtime with the match at nil-nil, but the Racers connected on a golden goal in the 93rd minute of the first overtime period to down the Lady Techsters, 1-0, on Friday afternoon at Cutchin Field.

It was the first game going beyond 90 minutes of the 2015 season for Tech (4-3), but the result was its third time being shut out on offense.
